did Hill go to the pen to complete 35 pitches or did they shut him down completely (to be cautious)?

Sounds like he went directly to surgery.

Seriously the way they talked I was led to believe he was shut down for the day.

AZ's boy Dukes on 1B. Plus, his other boy had a nice play earlier on defense.

They talked as if they expected him to maybe go 2 innings but after 14 pitches they shut him down for the day and called it a positive first outing. We'll see how he feels tomorrow.

* Shawn Hill takes the mound today for the Nationals. The team plans to take a cautious approach with its right-hander, who missed more than half of the 2008 season with elbow and forearm injuries. Today, Hill will throw just one inning, a departure from the programs Washington prescribed for its previous starters, John Lannan and Collin Balester, both of whom went two in their Grapefruit League debuts.

"We're going to baby him," Manager Manny Acta said.

I don't think everyone on the board (me for sure) knew he was only slotted for 1 inning. sounds like this was the plan all along.

I hope Marco does well this Spring. I'd love to have him in the pen.

OK. I was just reporting that the announcers seemed a little surprised that he didn't go back out for the 2nd. I don't think it's a big deal. It's probably wise to ease him back slowly.

Bad start for Marco. Walking Bourn on 4 straight pitches

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #91:** February 27, 2009, 01:49:54 PM »

ouch, 2 walks.

spidernat · « **Reply #92:** February 27, 2009, 01:50:09 PM »

2 walks on 9 pitches to start the inning. Flores is calling an awful game!

hammondsnats · « **Reply #93:** February 27, 2009, 01:50:56 PM »

would love to see a double play here, c'mon estrada show us something.

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #94:** February 27, 2009, 01:51:45 PM »

Yea A Gonz, good call

spidernat · « **Reply #95:** February 27, 2009, 01:51:51 PM »

Gonzalez in for Guzman makes the catch in shallow shallow LF (infield fly) for the first out.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #96:** February 27, 2009, 01:54:10 PM »

haha milledge vs. dukes

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #97:** February 27, 2009, 01:54:13 PM »

Milledge makes the catch infront of Dukes

2 outs

Great story from Charlie and Dave about Calas recording the voice mail message for Aaron Boone's phone -- Charlie and Dave in mid season form ...
